he Sun Valley Writers’ Conference, guided by a small Board of Directors, is an Idaho nonprofit corporation. Anchored by important literary figures, the conference brings discerning readers and writers together in a congenial environment to consider ideas set forth in fiction, nonfiction, journalism, poetry and filmmaking.

 The day typically starts with a number of breakout sessions, where small groups of attendees meet with one or two writers to discuss a specific topic. Panel discussions, readings and major talks fill the rest of the day and early evening.
